The League of Anacan was created when Duke Olwe of Toren, under guidance from the Antozan King Lu'an, seceeded the City of Anacan. The basic motivation was that Olwe, and other nobles, felt that the Antoza Commonwealth had lost its sense of purpose and even honour.

This did not mean that Olwe wished harm to the old realm, and indeed, today the League and Commonwealth are allies. The League is at peace with all realms and, along with the Antoza Commonwealth, is a home of Communionism.

Among the regions which joined the League were Lenamaziel, then and now the most bountiful of farmlands in the Far East, ensuring that the League would never starve. Anacan City itself is the third largest and wealthiest of cities, is well-defended and an ideal nexus of commerce and trade.

lo-anacan-icon.png History

Since know times Anacan always was the center of the trade and embarking ships in the Far East, her central location and open people tributed to that. For long, there had always been peace. Anacan, Taop and Azros had there city-wars, bandits did raid the outer villages sometimes, but never has there been a major conflit for almost 200 years. Until that day, the day when black sailes could been seen coming from the horizon, the pirate raid. Since Anacan never had any major conflict the Kings never took time to build any walls. This mistake would now be felt. The Pirates destroyed all the ships within the great harbor, women were raped, children were taken as slaves and for fun and any boy older looking then 13 to 14 years was butcherd. Luckely the pirates never destroyed the city, they made sure the city could rebuild and restore so they could raid her again. From all the gold that was left, the king orderd a pallisade to be made and everybody old enough to help...helped. The King orderd a few scouts to find mercenaries for the defense for their town, although not that well equiped these soldiers could fight. But the rich and influeced didn't only let their king create a army they created a hole new group of soldiers, The Anacan Blue Guards. Not the best trained soldiers but they had enough training to know how to use their equipent. Chaimail, long swords, good and large shields, closed helmets but with enough openings to not block their view. These soldiers were perfect for the defense against our city. And when the pirates came again they were butcherd and from the prisenors the King could tell there was only once place these bandits game from......Batesaor. From the conviscated pirate ships they sailed and when the reached Batesaor, they city was looted and to the discadisfation of many officers and nobility...Butcherd. Waging war was expensive, even for such a rich city as Anacan. So the King attack the cities of Azros and Taop taking all the lands around them with them. The King got a taste for blood and war.....he had a never sadisfied hunger for power, the King became a war warmonger. So after he had the coast under one banner he attacked Palnasos thinking the Svunnetlanders were unpreparred for any assault. His soldiers got butcherd, more and more the Antozian people got unhappy and some tried to revolt, all were crushed and killed. When the King finaly died, the Antoza Coast was in a bad shape, torn by war and revolt, hunger because of bad crops, poor because of the Antozian-Svunnetland war. So a peace was signed between the coast and the Empire. And from that day on Antoza was Svunnetland territory.............but the people of the coast would get another change.........
